Withdrawal symptoms

I don't intend to do a lot of work today - some, sure, to keep ticking over so I don't have to pick it up from scratch on Monday, but not a major push - so I decided to have fairly low rations of coffee. I woke up with a slight withdrawal headache, but I normally have a coffee first thing anyway (Ducki makes me one, and changing his habits is harder than quitting the black stuff ocmpletely would be!) so that solved that. That's the only coffee I've had today. I have another headache but want to leave coffee #2 until an hour after I finished eating lunch, because I don't want it to interfere with absorbing nutrients. (that's the other reason I want to cut down - I need my iron levels high right now) So I've rubbed peppermint oil into my temples and made a cup of mint and chilli tea.

DIY in the bathroom

You'll be pleased to hear I haven't been trying to fit a new toilet by myself. (although if I did I'd be tempted to use the old one as a garden planter - my parents had TWO of the things in their garden at some point but were total spoilsports and didn't put plants in them) No, this is about the various homemade and apparently 'natural' substances I've plastered myself with today.

Hair things first:

( Deep conditioner )

( Vinegar hair rinse )

My hair is soft and shiny but feels a wee bit greasy, and isn't quite as 'big' as usual. That's disconcerting. We'll see what it's like in a few days.

Now for other stuff:

( Ylang ylang and lavender bath salts )

( Moisture cream )

( Deodorant )
